S-VIDEO S-Video (Separate video), also known as Y/C is an analogue video signal that carries the video data as two separate signals, luma (brightness) and chroma (colour), unlike composite video (CVBS), which carries (lower-quality) picture information as a single signal, or component video, which carries (higher-quality) picture information as three separate signals, typically luma and two chroma components. S-Video, as most commonly implemented, carries 480i or 576i resolution video, i.e. standard definition (SD) video, it does not carry audio on the same cable. NOTE: The S-Video connection is not available on all Freesat receivers. |
